Well Its been a while, I have a hard time keeping up with this.. but I have had a hell of a week so why not vent my frustrations to the public? Anyways.. where to start?
Sunday: It was a nice family party due to the conjoined birthdays of my Uncle Dave, Aunt Jen. I was excited for a family party because of my slight obsession with food, and family parties are always filled with food! I was also pretty excited to see my family since It seems that I have not seen much of them lately. I ate a lot of food and I enjoyed it. That was until I got home. Apparently when your taking an antibiotic (for skin clearing purposes) your diabetic and forget to take insulin, and eat a whole boat load of food, bad things will happen. Since high blood sugar can upset stomachs alone, as well as a weird combination of delicious food (i.e. cake, guacamole, m&ms etc.), and antibiotics.. the mix of all three was destined to only have bad outcomes. I realized this lying on the floor sweating, whining and just plain upset because I was as sick as a dog. I tried to wait out the nausea but it never went away. that's when I accepted my fate and just threw up, yes I threw up. On the upside I felt better!
Monday: normal day, woke up, went to work.. blah blah blah.. I wasn't feeling my best. My stomach was in fact still upset from the lovely night before.
Tuesday: I woke up, got ready for a nice early day in SLC. I really wanted cafe Rio and my Grandpa wasn't feeling well and it was believed that the culprit was dun dun dun DIABETES! Since I'm a profess diabetic, I took upon the task of going to test his blood sugar. So I got dressed and ready and headed out the door, drove drove drove until I ended up in lakepoint, stuck in traffic. I knew there was a problem, so I turned around to go home and find out exactly what it was. turns out it was fire and that meant that BOTH i-80 and 201 were shut down.. damn. Stuck in Tooele county.. my worst nightmare.. I was mostly upset that I couldn't get Cafe rio, luckily my grandma took it upon herself to take on the diabetes theory head on, and discovered for herself that my grandpa did not have diabetes (lucky guy) So my services were not needed. but then a major problem came up.. that had to do with work.. since there are only two ways out of Tooele and the one way i needed to take was shut down, I was not able to attend work.. double damn. The other way out is absurdly long and I would have missed work anyways. I hate taking work off because I feel like I'm pushing all of my work onto everyone else, and to all my co-workers.. sorry! that was the drama for Tuesday.
Wednesday: Woke up, got ready for work. Normal day. I was excited because later that evening after work I was meeting up with my dear friend Nikki to have x-rays taken of my teeth (shes in dental assisting) I was happy to help! Then we were planning to go to squatters a lovely little place filled with VERY attractive waiters and bartender.. upon are arrival we discovered that the cute ones had the night off. Oh well the food was good! The bad part about Wednesday was the all-of-the-sudden snow, compared to the 70 degree weather/fire blazing day before this came as a shock. The only problem I faced was trying to get back home. So since me a Nikki's days both end later in the night I guess I should skip to Thursday now were all of the fun began..
Thursday: So I'm driving back to good ol' tooele county because the weather had calmed down, and I have made it home so many times before. Everything was great, I was listening to daft punk and I had some diet pepsi with me and I was excited to get home.. I was almost there when I went onto a bridge, I seemed to have misplace my winter driving skills due to the fact that it was the end of march beginning of April and it has been warm for like weeks now. So going onto the bridge I forgot the part about were bridges are extremely dangerous because the freeze very easily.. and as I drove down that lovely bridge in a split moment I found myself crashed into the barrier. I don't remember much, just it being so..unreal. I remember spinning around and being jerked around. I found the airbags deployed and the smell of smoke.. It was shocking so I jumped out of my car as to inspect the damage. To my horror, it was bad. my whole bumper was off and spread across the exit ramp like confetti. That was when I freaked. I frantically searched for my phone and found it within the mess. It seemed to have been thrown on impact. I called my mom and made her worse nightmare come true. I yelled "MOM! I WAS IN A CAR WRECK!" I yelled were I was and she did her part into meeting me at the scene. I was still in shock and hadn't mustered up tears quite yet.. then I saw cars coming and to my disbelief none of them stopped. I then decided to call Nikki, I was scared and alone and needed someone to talk to while I waited. Nikki listened to me scream/cry/yell/freak out until a nice old women passed me and pulled over. She got me water made me sit down and called the police. I wish I would have gotten the women's name, I made sure to thank her though. The police man arrived and he surveyed the damage and took my info while we waited for my mom and step dad to come. (I was bawling the whole time) when my mom arrived she hugged me and I kept crying. I cried and cried while my mom talked with the police officer about what was to happen with my car (it got towed) after what seemed like forever I was finally allowed home, ticket less, but freaked out and in total shock. I was crying so hard I hyperventilated the whole way home until I spoke with my Grandpa. I tried to go to bed when I got home but I couldn't. I had a hard time sleeping. I had to wake up early the next day though, despite the one a.m. to 2 am. events. My grandparents were coming out to look at my car. So that morning we headed to Grantsville to get my car.. and realized we couldn't take it due to the windshield and the no light thing. We decided to get a quote on how much it would cost to repair the car (it still runs) but the 6,500 dollar quote received made us sick. (that's how much we bought the car for, NOT WORTH IT) we had a family friend pick the car up from the tow lot, he plans to salvage the good parts out of it so we can get some money out of it to use towards a new car.
But in conclusion to all of this, The accident could have been a lot worse, It could have involved another car, I could have been killed, or seriously hurt. Luckily I was able to walk away with some severe whiplash (luckily a friend at work is going to massage therapy school and can help me out) and not anything worse. I'm all sorts of shaken up about this and just feel awful and stressed out. This was the last thing anyone in my family needed and I greatly apologize for this. But I'm glad to know that I have a wonderful family who is willing to help me out and make me feel better and give me a hugs and tell me things I want to hear. Same with friends and an awesome workplace/boss who understands completely and lets me off for the night to collect my thoughts and feelings. Its crazy how fast that accident happened, there was no time during the whole sliding in the ice to realize i was sliding in ice, because by the time I realized it, i was already crashed into the wall. I thank God I was wearing my seat belt and I didn't smash any part of my body on anything. Its surreal what happened and its hard to believe, but hopefully everything will work out and I will be okay. Lets home next week isn't like this.
